Hey Y'all, I'm going to be building a detachable chicken run out of PVC piping soon. It's not going to be anything fancy, just a 10x10x3ish run with hardware cloth around the outside of it. It just occurred to me, however, that hardware cloth may not be needed on the top of it, just the...

Good Afternoon Y'all, Hope you're well. So my question concerns where to place my waterer and feeder. I've attached a picture below for better understanding. Both the waterer and feeder are going to be 5-gallon buckets. I have a flock of 12 chickens, and I'm going to be attaching a long...

Hey Y'all, I've attached a pic of the upcoming weather in my area. My chicks are 6.5-7 weeks old, are feathered and are getting big. They've been living in an area of the house that has consistently been around 55-60F, with a heat lamp approximately 3 feet above them. I plan on moving them...

Hey Y'all, I know, weird title right? I was trying to make it succinct. So, long story short, I am in the process of "acclimating" my flock of 12 to outside temperatures. They're about 6 weeks old and I want to move them outside to their coop b/c they're getting too big for their current...

Hey y'all, So I'm not playing Devil's Advocate here or anything, just really curious. My wife and I got our flock of 12 about 5 weeks ago, and we were blessed with a coop already on out property. It needs some love, but it'll do for now. My questions are about feeders and waterers. It...

Hey y'all, I know this question has probably been beaten to death...so I figured why not ask it again, just to really drive it home. :) So for some background information, this is my family's first flock - 12 chicks. They were hatched on December 12, 2015, so they're about 5-6 weeks old. My...

Hey Y'all, So quick question. My wife and I have some 2.5 week old chicks. I'll begin by saying that this is our first batch so we are new to this. With regard to feed, our 12 chicks are going through it like crazy. She has to refill the one quart feeder twice a day. That isn't ths issue...

Hey everyone, need some assistance with a coop dilemma. So the amount of chickens that we have coming our way is a tad daunting: 18 is the final count. My original plan was to build two chicken tractors out of PVC or CPVC with a sturdy wooden base and having 9 in each one. With the square...

Afternoon y'all. New to the forum and I'm going to start out with a pretty important question, from my perspective anyway. My wife and I bought a house and inherited a chicken coop on the property. It's about a 8x8, maybe a 10x10 fenced in area with a raised hen house, nesting boxes...

Hey Everybody, Wanted to introduce myself as a new chicken owner from Southern Louisiana. My wife and I just purchased our first batch of chickens - a mix of Orpingtons, Eater Eggers, and Australorps. What started out as a joke a few years back has now become a reality. Definitely a new...
